Abstract: The research focuses on the life cycle assessment (LCA) of paperboard followed by the ISO 14040 series standards. Every aspect of environmental effects of a material within the “cradle to grave” were recognized in stages of the paperboard from origin to disposal. The research was finalized after collecting the data related to material. The estimation of the data was analysed with support of LCA software. The extensive research was performed to retrieve information. The outcome represented environmental burden points. In addition, the information could be supportive to know which part of whole life cycle should consider to further modifications. The scenario design was revealing a result by comparing all the different aspects. The visible difference was comparing the impacts from different scenarios. Transportation was a major part of the impact in complete study. The grid electricity was one of the parts can be replaced by biomass energy from wood waste that clearly making visible difference in total impacts. The implication of the life cycle assessment was understandable with the operation. Life cycle assessment in GaBi’s LCA software was providing easy access to database with limitations for students. GaBi’s LCA software made it easy to learn the basic characteristics of the LCA. Also, the advancement in recycling procedures reduce the emissions from the landfill and incineration.
